| Course Description | Focusing on short stories from the 7th-21st centuries, we ask what fiction can tell us about the real concerns that shaped the lives of Chinese writers. How do literary depictions of love/desire relate to social issues surrounding gender, power, and family? What do supernatural characters—hungry ghosts, lofty gods, unruly demons, seductive snakes and fox spirits—reveal about how humans made sense of unusual occurrences? What do motifs of cannibalism and related themes tell us about the socio-political changes China witnessed on its path toward becoming a nation-state? |
